When you’re unhappy with the way your smile looks, it can really get you down and cause you to feel self-conscious. Luckily, you don’t have to live with this feeling because here at Amsel & Wilkins, we offer a range of cosmetic treatments to help you with this.

Treatments

Porcelain veneers

One of the cosmetic treatments that our dentist in Banbury can help with is porcelain veneers. A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain that can be attached to the front of your teeth to cover imperfections. Various stains, chips and mild misalignment can be covered with a veneer, and we will make sure that it matches your other teeth as closely as possible to maintain a natural look. If you are looking to cover all or multiple of your teeth, we can also cater to this; the choice is yours when it comes to how many veneers you get.

Your veneers will be custom-made just for you, and our dentist in Banbury can adjust them if you think they’re not quite right. Once the veneers are ready to be permanently attached to your teeth, you will only need one appointment with us to do so. We attach the veneers with dental cement that can be hardened by a strong beam of light.

Invisalign

One of our most popular cosmetic treatments here at Amsel & Wilkins is Invisalign. It involves the use of clear, plastic aligners that can straighten your teeth over a certain period of time. The aligners can be custom-made just for your teeth, so they will be more comfortable to wear and barely visible to others. This treatment has been a great option for our patients who want to straighten their teeth but maintain a natural look throughout.

Our dentist in Banbury will provide you with multiple aligners when you begin treatment with Invisalign. You will usually have to wear an aligner for around 2 weeks before moving on to the next one. This process should be repeated until you have completed the treatment. Our patients have preferred this treatment over some others due to there being no invasive procedures, no food restrictions, and few dental appointments.

Teeth whitening

More and more people are coming to our practice wanting to rejuvenate their smiles using teeth whitening. Sometimes, even if you brush and floss your teeth regularly, they can still get discoloured. Drinking coffee, eating sugary foods and smoking can all contribute to discolouration.

Here at Amsel & Wilkins, we can provide you with an at-home teeth whitening kit; this has been really beneficial for our patients as they can do it from the comfort of their own homes. In this kit, we provide you with a custom-made whitening tray that can fit snugly on your teeth, as well as whitening gel. You should put the gel into the tray and wear it for a few hours during the day or at night. Our patients usually start to see the results after around 2 weeks of doing this process. Your teeth will be noticeably whiter and brighter, which can really help to improve your smile as well as your confidence.
